Why Fly With Norwegian

How to Check-in

Check-in period is between 24 hours and 60 minutes before your flight to or from Tel Aviv. You can do the whole process online via Norwegian’s website or use the Travel Assistant App. If you gave your mobile number when you booked your trip, an SMS ticket would be sent to you two hours before departure. After checking in, you can scan the barcode at security screening. If you checked-in with the Travel Assistant App, your boarding pass will be displayed on your device. In case you prefer a paper boarding pass, you can scan your barcode at the airport check-in kiosks and print it out, or visit a Norwegian’s representative at the check-in counter. If you travel with hand luggage only and have a printed or mobile boarding pass, you can skip the lines and go directly to security.

Baggage Allowances and Fees

All passengers with any fare level can board the plane with one carry-on bag no larger than 55x40x23 cm and one personal item with the maximum dimensions of 25x33x20 cm. LowFare, Lowfare+, and Premium tickets have a maximum weight of 10 kg. Flex and PremiumFlex passengers have a more generous allowance of 15 kg. On all flights excluding long-haul, there is no baggage allowance for LowFare tickets. LowFare+ can bring one item of up to 20 kg. Flex tickets can drop off two items of 20 kg. On long haul flights, there are no bags included for LowFare tickets. LowFare+ have one piece of 20 kg, and Flex, Premium, and PremiumFlex can bring two items. Excess baggage will be charged €11 per kg at the airport, so make sure you purchase it in advance for a much lower price. For instance, the cost for one piece of luggage to Copenhagen of 20 kg will cost €20, and two pieces cost €50 with LowFare.

Seating

During the booking process, Norwegian will give you the option to choose your seat for a fee, in case you want to guarantee your favorite window or aisle seat. If you don’t care where to sit, your seat will be assigned to you on the day of departure by Norwegian. The fee for reserved seats is €9-19 per person, each way. Check your fare level; you may be entitled to pick your seat for free. Are you tall or need the extra space for your legs? Norwegian doesn’t charge higher rates for these seats, so it's best to get in quick and reserve your seat when making your booking.
